This Sunday (working even on the weekend in Korea?) LG announced they closed a deal with VW in order to integrate LG Technology in future VW cars by 2012… It's interesting to note that this deal was made with “Volkswagen Group of Wolfsburg,” and I wonder if this only includes VW cars or other makers like Porsche, Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini…

Seoul, October 25, 2009 - LG Electronics, a leading provider of business solutions, today announced that it has reached an agreement with the Volkswagen Group of Wolfsburg, Germany to become one of the leading suppliers of car audio systems for three of Volkswagen’s automobile brands starting in 2012.
